Recently I happened upon the site Short of the Week, which features a collection of videopoems. One I found in the collection is an animation of a poem by Gabor Barabas inspired by the art of sculptor Louise Bourgeois: The Spider. Barabas was a friend of Bourgeois. Using the simplest of animated drawings, the short addresses contradictory forces of nature.

By filmmaker Juan Delcan of Nola Pictures, the film received in 2008 a 365 award for motion graphics from AIGA (formerly, American Institute of Graphic Arts).
